Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 11x + 6 and y = 17 meet at x = 1-4-2246-60-40-2020406080x = 1y = 11x + 6y = 17
The lines y = 11x + 6 and y = 17 meet at x = 1. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    11x+6=1711x + 6 = 17
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    11x+6−6=17−6 ⇒ 11x=1111x + 6 - 6 = 17 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 11
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=1111 ⇒ x=1\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{11}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 1
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 1 back into the equation.
